Girl strokes chocolate in Hope and Greenwood....

[Mick Mac]

I was in Hope and Greenwood yesterday afternoon:

An attractive girl, perhaps in her late 20s came in with a girlfriend and spotted a bar of "*******" chocolate.

I personally have never even heard of "*******" chocolate, I can't even remember its name, but they seem very impressed with it. it was most likely very expensive.

Girls says to friend - "oh look they have "*******" chocolate!".

Girlfriend says "whaooo!"

Girl 1 starts stroking the bar of chocolate. She looked like she really wanted this chocolate, real bad.

She then dragged herself away from the chocolate and bought a more modest purchase, a small bag of dolly mixtures. On the way out she stopped to stroke the bar of chocolate again, before leaving.

What is it with girls and chocolate?

I hope she didn't start to "flake" it. There were probably minors around.

If I knew that I'd be wearing it, whatever it is.

I don't get chocolate either. Don't get me wrong, it's okay but only if it's been in the fridge and then only a bit. These people that can eat a whole one of those huge bars are just wrong.

Crisps everytime.

Mmmmmmmm, chocolate...

*goes all peculiar*

[dulwichmum]

I should imagine that the girls were stroking bars of Fry's Chocolate Cream. OHMYGOD.

I buy a bar at H & G each Saturday morning.

It never disappoints.

Annasfield, I get the gist of your post, even though I like chocolate and eat my fair share (Twirl anyone?) I don't quite go into the raptures that some do.

Then you spoil it by mentioning crisps. Crisps rather than chocolate? Have you gone cocoa?

Chocolate is more reliable than men :)

[PeckhamRose]

And cheaper. Even the best stuff.

Can't put up shelves though.

On Sunday I opened the fridge and it was full of leftover pizza and cold beer. My legs went all wobbly and I shed a single tear of joy.

I think it?s something similar.

You will NEVER understand.

Men put up the shelves that you girls put the chocolate on. Once the shelves are up you probably don't need us anymore.

[Keef]

Citizen, I'm with you on Twirls!

I had a friend in my old job, and she genuinely had a thing for chocolate. She was going through some really horrible stuff in her life, and where I probably would've turned to drink, she turne to chocolate, and it genuinely seemed to make her feel better. weird!

Let's hope the chocolate was wrapped before being stroked.

Agree with Annasfield, give me a pack of crisps any day, or a sausage for that matter. Will only occasionally have chocolate and certainly not the whole bar.

Probably not. I admit it, I don't understand it. I watched Nigella last night and it confirmed my suspicions that there is some sort of drug/chemical reaction that you girls get from cocoa that just does not work for men. There is something of the unknown about it.

Nigella's friend comes round - very upset - unknown man has no doubt mistreated her - Nigella plops lots of homemade chocolatty things in front of her - all is well - everyone is happy again - bad man is forgotton.

[Annasfield]

Would much rather have a fella/beer/crisps/sausage than a bar of chocolate. Perhaps not all at the same time, but there are some good combinations in there I'm sure. ;-)

[Cassius]

Don't like chocolate except maybe a tiny bit of dark chocolate that has been in the fridge. Don't like crips either - in fact don't like snacks or sweet things at all - but put a pint of ale, or a glass of wine in front of me.............

Brendan I have a sneak suspicion that we may have been seperated at birth.

[Mick Mac]

Brendan - are you hairy?

[bigbadwolf]

I have fur not hair. Of course Brendans hairy, he's south African!

[Brendan]

I have an inordinately large amount of hair on my head but I still can?t grow a proper ?man?s? beard.

[Mick Mac]

Apologies BBW - how remiss of me. Fur of course.

[bigbadwolf]

Just in case you forget Mick Mac. This is what I look like. I'll let you all guess who's on the back but the Champers is a bit of a give away.
